hey so just wondering Ive read that you need to buy evo 9 lines for an evo 9 swap on an evo 8 turbo before I get the turbo I want to make sure I know what I need to get Im pretty sure I know but I saw my friends evo 9 turbo I was looking at buying and it looks like all the oil and water lines are the same?

Other then the oil return life is there anything that I need for a evo 9 swap?

 

i believe you have to get a 9 j pipe

 

And yes you need the lines, you can reuse your return line, the other ones you need though, oil supply, and the two water lines

 

so they have to come off the evo 9 turbo

 

You can check FP and map they carry evo 9 turbo install kir the lines j pipe everything you need it's what I had to do on my VIII when I went to an ef3

 

Can someone tell me what is the differnce, in horse power, between EVO 8 and EVO 9 turbo??

 

Not really much. I wouldn't do the swap unless it was to add the 10.5 hotside if you had the 9.8 hotside

 

Yeah you will definitely need a J pipe and yes if you are switching from a 9.8 now to a evo 9 10.5 hotside then it does make a difference. Also if you are on e85 then yes it still does make a difference between evo 8 and 9 in my opinion. Depends what mods you have and what you consider to be a difference too. You can always port the turbo too for a little better flow and power as well. If you get an evo 9 for cheap with the lines and j pipe then in my opinion its worth it.

 

i think map sells a instail kit you can pick up with everything you need for like 150 bucks

 

but do you need the conversion or if the evo 9 turbo comes with all the stuff will the evo 9 turbo water and oil lines and oil returnline work on the evo 8 motor?

 

This link help me alot and might help you answer question.

Here's my experience going from 8 to 9 turbo:

My opinion is that for autocrossing and street purposes, the evo9 turbo with E85 is a killer setup--very minimal lag and lots of potential (~400awhp near its max). On 93oct, however, I wanted more power and ultimately went with a BBK Full on E85.

 

Evo 9 water and oil lines work on the 8 motor, but you have to have the 9 j-pipe (compressor outlet piece) too, the 8 one on the 9 turbo will hit the starter. If the 9 turbo you get comes with the lines and the j-pipe, you don't need the install kit.

 

read this thread and you determine if you're comfortable bending lines and such:
